The review of Emerging Standards of International Trade and Investment: Multinational Codes and Corporate Conduct (1985) 34 I.C.L.Q. 640 incorrectly stated that it was published under the auspices of the American Bar Association. It should have stated that it was published under the auspices of the American Society of International Law.

This special issue of the Alberta Law Review is devoted to the discussion of current topics within the field and discipline of international law, including matters of international trade and investment law, international development, peace and security, international criminal law, and the international protection of human rights. The publication of this issue represents the culmination of an extraordinary intellectual exchange between four societies dedicated to the development and promotion of international law, which together represent five countries and attract membership from lawyers within academia, government, and private practice. The “Four Societies” initiative stems from an initial partnership in the early 1990s between the American Society of International Law (ASIL), the Canadian Council on International Law (CCIL), and the Japanese Society of International Law (JSIL), which was later expanded upon during the current decade to include the Australian & New Zealand Society of International Law (ANZSIL). Without the support of these Four Societies, this special issue, and the two-day conference at which the articles were first presented, would not have taken place.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to this session on International Law and the Trump Administration, Part II. This is the session on international trade and investment. I know folks are still joining us, but perhaps they can filter in as we begin. I don't want the panel to lose even a minute on this important topic.

A tangible Result of recent initiatives of the A.A.L.C.C. in the field of international trade law and practice has been the creation of centres for commercial arbitration in Kuala Lumpur and Cairo. The centres are intended to be one component of an integrated regional system for the settlement of trade and investment disputes. That the centres were established on the recommendation of and under the auspices of the A.A.L.C.C. is evidence of the Committee’s growing importance as a regional intergovernmental body concerned with issues of international law and institutional relations.

This chapter examines the idea that our priority ought to be to reform the international trade in resources so as to deliver on popular resource sovereignty, and to deliver upon an ideal of ‘public accountability’ in resource sales. It suggests that ‘accountability’ reforms have some promise, but cannot be considered a replacement for more ambitious egalitarian reforms. Indeed, it shows that we have reason to be cautious about those reforms, in light of their likely effects. It also shows that public accountability and popular sovereignty are not unambiguously enshrined in international law. This reduces the supposed pragmatic advantage of accountability reforms, and their purported superiority over more ambitious egalitarian reforms.
